I wish a shed collector would come knocking at my door.  I’m not into buying sheds, but I would his.

The way that he is raising his right hind leg, it almost seems like he is giving you the finger.

What a cool deer and cool story. Have you burned any calories looking for his sheds? I’d pay good money to have a beer with you, look through your photos and hear the stories behind em. Thanks for sharing as always.

Thank you!   By looking at his condition, I'm guessing this will be his last.

I was thinking the same thing. You may well find him next year but I doubt he will be the same deer in many ways. The history is just amazing!! All these years, the stuff he has seen, the predators he has escaped the roads crossed, just crazy!! Thanks again Doug :tup:

He is still one of my favorite bucks of all time. So glad you found him again so we could get another look. Thank you!

What a life that deer has had. Many Thanks Bone for bringing us on the journey, and getting a glimpse into the life of a legend. Whatever happens, I pray to the deer gods that buck goes peacefully.

Somewhere in my deer shed pile in the old shop out back I have about seven years of the same whitetail and he always looked the same and got super tall for a few yrs then back down to the first few years size and stayed that way but it's bases just got fatter every year. Never actually saw the deer but his sheds were always in the same spot.
